Pope Francis marks Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy
Cross
(Vatican Radio) Pope Francis
remembered the Exaltation of the Holy Cross on Wednesday, at the end of his
weekly General Audience.
In greetings to young people,
newlyweds, and all persons suffering illness of any kind, the Holy Father recalled
the liturgical feast, connected with St. Helen’s recovery of the Cross in the
fourth century, and celebrated in gratitude for the redemption won for us by
Christ on the Holy Cross, and in acknowledgement of the instrument of our
salvation.
“Today,” said Pope Francis,
“we celebrate the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.”
The Holy Father went on to
say, “Dear young people, as you return to the regular rhythms of life
after the summer holidays, strengthen your dialogue with God as well,
spreading his light and his peace.”
To those suffering illness,
Pope Francis said, “Find comfort in the Cross of the Lord Jesus, who continues
His work of redemption in the life of every man.
Newlyweds received a special
exhortation from Pope Francis, who told them, “Make the effort to maintain a
constant relationship with Christ crucified, that your love might be the more
true, fruitful and lasting.”
